southern ghost- Visible disembodied soul of the south . A vanishing era when people knew their neighbors, children could play in their front yards without fear, guns were used for hunting, children respected their elders, men respected women, foul language was never used in public, "yes sir" and "no sir" were proper answers, the Bible was proudly honored, church was where you were on Sundays, God was the Creator, you knew all your cousins, aunts and uncles, and it was a treat to go to town.

1. "This little old town has became a southern ghost hasn't it?"
"It sure has , now we got gangs , murders, and drug dealers ripping the soul out of our town."
